Connect with your real feelings.

Learning how to identify with our true feelings can help us be more confident, more congruent to our life goals and help us build better relationships.

So how do you get in touch with what you are really feeling? Most people who see a Life Coach feel out of balance, lack clarity or are unsure what direction to go in. It is fair to say that most of us have felt internal conflict at some point in our lives. It almost feels as if there are 2 or more people inside our head, one voice telling us to go this way and the other voice telling us to that way! So what do we do for the best which voice do we listen to and what do we do if neither voice is what we really want?

Here is an example client; Mrs X came to see me for 6 sessions to discuss life and business goals. It became apparent that Mrs X found it extremely uncomfortable to talk proudly about her achievements in life. She was able to tell me about her business successes but found it rather uncomfortable to share her personal achievements. She would stutter, mumble and physically go red in the face. She would do her best to avoid the question and play down anything that she should feel proud of.

It was apparent Mrs X had at some point in her life not been allowed to express herself or even feel accomplished for who she was. Instead Mrs X had learnt that it was NOT acceptable to connect with feelings of pride, accomplishment or fulfilment and had only been valued in life for her academic success which she had now carried forward into her career. Had life of been different for Mrs X she may not have pursued a career in finance and even though she was extremely good at her job and had won lots of prestigious awards for her achievements she did not find it fulfilling and the awards only brought with them a sense of emptiness.

During the sessions I was able to work with Mrs X to connect her with the feelings of worthiness, accomplishment and pride in who she was a person and help her reconnect to the hobbies that brought her the most joy allowing her to express herself creatively. By doing this she found more meaning in her work, she was able to take pride in her accomplishments instead of feeling like an imposter and that her best wasn’t good enough.

“In an age where success, money, love, self image, relationships, spirituality, emotional health – and just about everything else – are compartmentalised into their own little boxes, it can be a real eye-opener to hear about the deep connections between how we act, live, feel and look.

I have now made this passion of mine my life’s work and am here to help you bring about some lasting changes at a core level to enhance your life and become the person you wish to become.”Anne-Marie Mayers, Life Coach and Life Coach Trainer
